CTA Holds Meetings to Help Riders Switch to Ventra

If you’re still not sure about how to get a Ventra card, you’re in luck.

The Chicago Transit Authority wants to clear up any concerns about how to switch from a Chicago card to a Ventra card.

Officials on Monday will hold the first of six meetings to be held this month to help CTA and Pace riders transfer their balances from existing fare cards to Ventra cards.
